Review summary

Users value the app for accurate local weather, live SkyTrack cameras, and trusted meteorologists, plus 24/7 updates and severe-weather alerts. However, repeated issues across reviews include intrusive ads, confusing navigation, degraded radar features that hinder localization, frequent crashes, and concerns about precipitation accuracy. To retain users, Wave 3 Louisville Weather needs UI improvements, reliability fixes, and better radar/forecast accuracy while maintaining its strong local-focus features.

Pros

Accurate local weather updates with timely alerts and trusted local reporting.
Access to SkyTrack cameras for live weather visuals.
Voice/spoken alerts for severe weather (e.g., tornado warnings).
Reliable, 24/7 weather information and a go-to app during storms.
On-air meteorologists and forecasts that feel informative and reassuring.

Cons

Too many intrusive ads and long commercials, including video ads interrupting weather content.
Poor UI/navigation and changes that make it harder to access localized information on multiple screens.
Radar features degraded: past-present view is harder to access, requires zoom, and appears less localized.
Frequent crashes, stalls, and slow performance when switching views or loading content.
Inaccurate or unreliable precipitation forecasts, with rain often predicted that doesn’t occur.

2026-01-13	Ca*****	The last 2 updates of this weather app have downgraded the better features of the app. While you can still name locations, when actually going to the radar map, you now must zoom in versus previously going directly to the localized portion I had set up. The map will not save my alerts for each location no matter how many times I put it in and hit save. I’m not sure what the upgrades were for each time, but I sure miss being able to hometown view with alerts enabled. That was the whole point of using this app for me instead of one of the built in recommendations from the App Store. This radar map now looks constantly zoomed out and generic for the whole US, and leaves me greatly disappointed. Wrong direction Wave3, and another update like these and I’ll move on to something else. Go back to more localized, you say you are the “local” station, so please be that again! Stop trying to compete in tech and stay hometown!

2025-12-19	33*****	PLEASE put the traffic map back to how it was. This update is horrible, and it is hard to figure out when there is no longer red, green, and yellow colors to let you know where the problems are. The rest of the app is ok.

2025-12-16	Fi*****	Too hard to navigate between all of the buttons. Liked the old version better when everything was on one screen instead of going back and forth.

2025-12-10	Sh*****	This was my go to app for RADAR. Now I hate it due to recent changes. I don’t want to see future radar. I only want to see loop from past to current

2025-12-10	El*****	I mainly use this app to look at the radar, specifically to see the past-present. Seems like there’s no way to see just the past-present anymore. It always plays a future cast animation when I hit play. Also, I used to be able to easily pause it at the current time and see the precip and the alerts at the same time, but looks like that’s not a thing anymore either.

2025-10-21	Ab*****	I love Wave 3 Weather but lately, there are too many catchy notifications that end up being click bait for not-so-relevant news “alerts”. I’m here for important weather changes.
